The tide chart as a kind of quiet government
I spent the evening marking the next week's highs and lows on the wall calendar—nothing special, just the usual. But it struck me how the tide doesn't negotiate, doesn't campaign, doesn't spin. It just is, and everything—the oysters, the boats, the shorebirds—adjusts. That's the kind of order I can trust.

The tide's the only timetable that never lied to me. There's a transformer near the plant hums in C whatever the weather, and I've started leaning on it the same way—no council, no vote, just there. Yeah. I get it.
